Wen Chaotian ordered the inspectors to pour lamp oil and set fire to the old cannibal tree.

At present, in Pengzhou Mansion, no one dares to disobey the order of Wen Chaotianguan, Xiang'er spoke out in public to stop it, and if it was Ma Qianli, his face would be flattened, and he would ensure that he would not lose swelling for a month.

But after all, it is Xiang'er, although there is no name of husband and wife, but secretly there is a common pillow.

One night husband and wife, 100 days.

Wen Chaotian suppressed his anger and shook his head at Xiang'er.

"Now, it's not your time to mess around."

Xiang'er stepped forward quickly, rolled her hand into a trumpet shape, and began to whisper in Wen Chaotian's ear.

"My lord, the average poplar tree has a lifespan of at most thirty or forty years, and at most one person can be embraced."

"This kind of old poplar tree that has an overlived lifespan and may not be hugged by both of them, this is the first time I have seen it."

"I used to pass by here, and I heard the old man say that this old tree has lived for I don't know how many years it has lived."

Wen Chaotian turned his head to look at Xiang'er, his face grim.

Xiang'er's move, on this occasion, is very inappropriate.

"Dogs that bite people can't be kept, and poplars that eat people can't be kept, and no matter how rough they grow, no matter how long they live, it's not a reason for them to avoid death."

Xiang'er whispered again: "My lord, I'm not begging you to save it from death, but to tell you that animals become essence and gather Neidan, and plants and trees turn into demon spirit roots, and cutting off its spirit roots can cut off his way of life!" ”

Wen Chaotian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

"You said that one set is a family heirloom, or did you learn it from somewhere?"

Xiang'er smiled and replied: "I used to go shopping, and I stopped in front of Liu's blind fortune-telling booth, and he often talked about these mysterious things, which were very attractive, and I would listen to them occasionally. ”

Wen Chaotian nodded, regardless of the difference between men and women, and patted Xiang'er's little shoulder in public.

Animals become essences and gather in the inner dan, and plants and trees turn into demon and spiritual roots.

Xiang'er's reminder just now is too important for Wen Chaotian!

A few years ago, Jinyiwei carried away Yuan Laoyu's headless corpse from Zhongwu County, and Huang Younian mentioned this matter in his correspondence with Wen Chaotian.

Thinking of it again, the emperor issued a secret decree asking Pengzhou Mansion to hand over Xie Yuwen's Tiangang Blade.

Wen Chaotian has long understood that the emperor has been collecting strange things in the world.

Then this old tree has become a spirit and has generated a spiritual root, the emperor will definitely like it!

Thinking of this, Wen Chaotian waved his hand at the patrol soldiers who were carrying lamp oil and asked them all to retreat.

"This tree has been cannibalized and turned into a demon, and it can't be burned to death, so it must be dug out of all its roots, so that the grass can be cut and the roots can be removed, so as to prevent the stumps from lurking underneath, and the spring breeze blows and grows again!"

Wen Chaotian's words are orders.

In order to atone the merits, Ma Qianli immediately turned his fart upside down and led people to find shovels and pickaxes.

Xiang'er's shawl is still covered by the big tree.

Wen Chaotian summoned Tiesi Prison and assigned him a team of inspection officers and soldiers, asked him to lead the troops, escorted Xiang'er, who was holding the tree nodule, and went back to the mansion to rest first.

As soon as Tie Si Prison and his party left, Ma Qianli also found a lot of guys digging in the soil.

Behind the wall closest to the old tree is a deserted school, which can be overturned.

As for the buildings of the Jiang butchers, they are all on the other side of the road, and there is no need to tear down the houses.

The patrol soldiers and a group of officials, under the command of Niu Patrol and Ma Qianli, pushed the wall and dug the soil.

Chairs and tables were brought in.

There was tea on the table, and Wen Chaotian sat down to drink tea while supervising the progress of the project.

No one gave Duan Chu a job, but he felt embarrassed to be idle, so he picked up a pickaxe.

Seeing that Duan Chu was about to go over to dig the soil, Wen Chaotian beckoned to him: "Yuan Qi, you don't have to meddle in such rough work, you and the government can sit here." ”

Duan Chu had no choice but to sit next to Wen Chaotian and take the tea he handed over.

The ginger butcher was beaten with ten boards, lying on the ground and humming.

He looked up and saw Duan Chu, who was drinking tea with the prefect, and then thinking about the shopkeeper Xu who was killed by the official, he was even weak to cry out in pain.

Wen Chaotian also knew that it was impossible to hide from the surrounding people in this kind of battle tonight.

But he doesn't care about this, tomorrow he will be added to the vinegar by the people, and it will spread all over the city.

The rumors are not terrible, and the more outrageous they are, the better, because the more outrageous they are, the more people don't believe them.

The walls collapsed and dust was everywhere, and Ma Qianli was disgraced and coughed repeatedly.

He looked back and saw that Duan Chu and Wen Chaotian were sitting and drinking tea side by side, licking their tongues with envy.

Niu Inspector saw that Ma Qianli was very envious of Duan Chu, and couldn't help but come over to stimulate him.

"Old Ma, this poplar tree spirit was discovered by Brother Duan, seeing that Master Wen treated him so favorably, I knew that Brother Duan had made a great contribution this time!"

Ma Qianli can also see this.

He sighed, took out the "Lost Cat and Dog Picture" from his arms, and looked at it carefully.

The circle drawn by himself, in the center of the circle, is actually not the ginger butcher's house, but the old poplar tree.

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is one step away from the correct answer!"

Thinking about his boastful talk at home before, his wife also praised him for only using five taels of gold to pull Duan Chu into the water, which is to see through the magic of human nature, who would have thought that people are not as good as heaven!

I obviously spent five taels of gold to help Duan Chu buy a big credit!

Ma Qianli couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped himself hard.

Although the project is not small, it cannot withstand many people, and the progress is still very fast.

On the fourth watch, all the roots of the poplar tree were dug up.

Wen Chaotian led Duan Chu around the tree pit, and immediately found that in the center of the tree root, there was a three-foot tree root, and there were purple protrusions on the surface, like the blood vessels of the human epidermis.

Wen Chaotian smiled slightly, this must be the spiritual root of the poplar spirit!

"Yuanqi, chop off this tree root, be careful, don't hurt the purple bulge." Wen Chaotian said.

Duan Chu jumped down with the ghost head knife, and stabbed at both ends of the three-foot tree root.

As soon as the spiritual roots were gone, the bark of the old tree, which had already fallen, fell off in large pieces, and it died in a blink of an eye.

Wen Chaotian asked the inspectors to wrap the spiritual roots of the old tree with watered cloth.

Then the cattle patrol led the team, escorted the roots back to the mansion, and handed them over to Xiang'er.

Only then did Ma Qianli understand that the roots of the three-foot old tree were the reason why Duan Chu had made great contributions!

The old dead tree was doused with lamp oil and burned clean.

By the time the ashes had been swept into the tree pit and all the dirt had been backfilled, the sky had just begun to turn white.

Wen Chaotian waved his hand.

"Everyone, great work! The government has decided to reward each person with two dollars! I'll pick it up at the house! ”

Two copper coins are two taels of silver.

Originally, the soldiers were tired all night and had back pain, so it was inevitable that there would be complaints, but I heard that there were two rewards, and they were all grateful, so they all knelt down to Wen Chaotian: "Thank you!" ”

Two taels of silver, most of them are soldiers and errands, and a month's salary is not so much!

Everyone worked hard to clean up the battlefield, and finally the troops were happily withdrawn.

Duan Chu and Ma Qianli followed Wen Chaotian and returned to his residence in the mansion.

Ma Qianli wanted to enter the hospital together, but Wen Chaotian coughed.

"Ma Zhutou, the corpse of the woman of the Xu family, hurry up and find the bitter master to rein in, this matter will be handed over to you, go back and let Tie Si Prison write a document, and close the case of the shopkeeper Xu."

Ma Qianli left in a huff.

After sending away thousands of miles, Wen Chaotian took Duan Chu into the courtyard.

The little girl Huan Xiang'er was fiddling with the human face tree with the size of the basin, and there was a three-foot-long spiritual root.

Duan Chu felt for the first time that this little girl ring was a bit unusual.
